just think about it

I always feel that I want to see the wider and more splendid world, but I don't want to lose the happiness of being in the world a little bit.
But I finally understand that the ancients said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is not about how far you go or how much you read, but the thickness of your life in the process.
The most difficult thing in life is to live calmly. Everything you have experienced is just for you to learn how to face it calmly. Pain is not misfortune, misfortune is not pain, it is just the experience of life.
I love the villains, they are evil, they die in pain, and they also allow good people to be good.
In fact, there is no "good person" in the full sense. Every character has its positive and negative sides. This is the real "person". I am used to seeing impeccable heroes, and I prefer real stories and real people. Maybe it's because you can see the real world, and the real self. Evil people have me, lovely people have me, and gradually understand that I will not be a pure and noble saint, nor will I be a villain who does all evil, but an ordinary person with my selfishness and my love .
Many things have to be experienced in order to understand. Whether it's good or bad, don't be afraid, just go through it. As long as you live, you will find happiness.

    Pierre Bezukhov: Come, let's sit and eat and give thanks for our good fortune.

    Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over continued] When our lives are knocked off course, we imagine everything in them is lost. But it is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life, there is happiness. There is a great deal... a great deal still to come.
